Day 2: Some days I wake up and my body fails me. I can’t even lift my head off the pillow. A few years ago I found out I had hyperthyroidism and a pulmonary embolism in my lungs. Had I gone back to sleep the way I planned, I wouldn’t be here today. In 2020 I had my thyroid removed (you can see the scar in the second photo). I deal with chronic fatigue, chronic nausea, memory loss, and so many other things having this condition. For the last 7 months I’ve been fainting without warning and I’ve been dealing with a cardiologist ever since. I currently have a heart monitor to figure out what’s going on but truth be told they don’t really know....I still work full time, go to school full time, own a cosmetic business, raise my son and all that it entails. Most days people have no idea how depressed I am because I carry it well. Many people have expressed that I’m one of the strongest people they know, but even the strong gets tired. My days are filled with needles, doctor visits, random procedures and difficult surgeries at times but instead of trying to hold all this in, I let it out. I cry until I can’t cry anymore and then I move on because life doesn’t stop. I am a very strong women, I’ve endured a lot in these 36 years on earth but I’m also thankful for my experiences because they made me who I am. I’m not perfect and I don’t want to be but I am human. I do have feelings and sometimes they get hurt. But my faith keeps me going. I’m thankful for this journey because God isn’t through with me yet! So on those days that you don’t feel your best, it’s okay to lay there but don’t stay there. 💜 . #livelife #lovelife #havefaith #godisgood
